This patchbox kit has a neatly formed hinge, and is slightly curved to conform to the shape of your buttstock. Tempered springs and instructions are included. Made of iron, sometimes used on early longrifles. Brass was the traditional trim for an early longrifle.
We recommend mounting the patchbox with our #SCREW-6-1/2 unplated iron wood screws.
This patchbox was used on a Pre-Revolutionary War era American longrifle, by an unknown maker, shown in Rifles of Colonial America. The lack of side panels on either edge of the patchbox lid are typical for an early patchbox, or you may add your own side panels. Overall length is about 6-3/4".
